The central government recently announced the "Comprehensively Deepening the Reform and Opening-up Plan of the Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Modern Service Industry Cooperation Zone."


The central government recently announced the "Comprehensively Deepening the Reform and Opening-up Plan of Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Modern Service Industry Cooperation Zone". The area of ​​Qianhai has increased from 14.92 square kilometers by 7 times to 120.56 square kilometers. The development goal is to achieve "building, sound, and higher" by 2025. A new system of open economy at different levels will initially form a globally competitive business environment"; in 2035, "the high-level opening-up system and mechanism will be more perfect, and the business environment will reach a world-class level."


Just one day before the "Qianhai Plan" was issued, the central government also issued the "Overall Plan for the Construction of the Hengqin Guangdong-Macao Intensive Cooperation Zone", which greatly expanded the future development and living space of Macau, and implemented the "Guangdong-Macao Co-management." The "Qianhai Plan" does not specify any institutional role for Hong Kong.



In the past few days, Hong Kong government officials and establishments have all mentioned that Hong Kong must seize development opportunities. However, the development of Qianhai is actually a challenge for Hong Kong. It is an ideological and conscious challenge. If it cannot be overcome, continue to "no "Advance" or "slow advance", Hong Kong may be replaced.


The total area of ​​the Qianhai Cooperation Zone has expanded to 120.56 square kilometers.

Hengqin New District develops high-tech technology and establishes characteristic chip design

The Hengqin New Area is a cooperative zone of "co-construction, co-management and sharing" between Guangdong Province and Macau. Macau dominates the economic field, and Guangdong Province dominates social management, greatly increasing Macau's economic and people's livelihood development space.

The "Hengqin Plan" has ambitious development goals. It is necessary to establish industries such as technology research and development, traditional Chinese medicine, cultural tourism, exhibition, and modern finance.

Among them, in the science and technology industry, it is necessary to become a demonstration base for production, education and research of the University of Macau and Macau University of Science and Technology, focusing on technological innovation, and developing integrated circuits, electronic components, new materials, new energy, big data, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things and production. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is necessary to establish a microelectronics industry chain for characteristic chip design, testing and inspection.

Macau has always been accused of over-reliance on the gaming industry, and the above construction guidelines are expected to diversify Macau's economy and industry.

It is worth mentioning that the "Hengqin Plan" will gradually establish civil and commercial rules to connect Macau, and the ultimate goal is to integrate with the world. From this perspective, it cannot be ruled out that the future will become a part of Macau, and the integrated development of the two places will become a new one. Special economic zone.

"Qianhai Plan" Hong Kong does not play a key role

If Macau has such a rapid development, it will definitely be a major challenge for Hong Kong, which is separated by the sea.

One major difference between the "Qianhai Plan" and the "Hengqin Plan" is that the development responsibilities of the Hengqin New Area are very clear. The economic projects are dominated by Macau, but the "Qianhai Plan" is a plan for the entire region. And Shenzhen organization leaders, strictly speaking, Hong Kong has no major role.

The "Qianhai Plan" mentions the financial industry that Hong Kong is good at, involving the establishment of financial institutions, financial markets, financial products, and financial regulatory innovation. Hong Kong does not have much say in this matter and can only be a "participant". .

From this point of view, it is not only the opportunity mentioned by some establishments, but also a major challenge for Hong Kong's pillar economic industries. If it fails to deal with it properly, Hong Kong's advantages will gradually be weakened in the long run.

After the expansion of the Qianhai Cooperation Zone, it will provide more development options and opportunities for Hong Kong capital, Hong Kong enterprises and Hong Kong people who are seeking broader development space.

Integration is the integration under the premise of sustainable development in Hong Kong

Faced with its neighbors becoming stronger, Hong Kong must step up its pace and improve its competitiveness.

The central government has successively launched the Greater Bay Area Plan and the "14th Five-Year Plan". To this "Qianhai Plan", Hong Kong must look for opportunities in it. Sea competition is a challenge.

As Luo Huining, director of the Liaison Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, said last month, Hong Kong needs to "recognize the requirements of national planning", integrate into the overall situation of national development, and continuously enhance Hong Kong's competitive advantage.

Hong Kong has a long-term lack of knowledge of national planning. Not only high-ranking government officials, but also the establishment elites are still asking the central government for preferential treatment. Every time the central government has a favorable Hong Kong policy, it is called "central sugar distribution."

This time the "Qianhai Plan" was released, the establishments said that Hong Kong should seize opportunities, but what Hong Kong has to do is not to allow professionals to immigrate to Qianhai. Hong Kong needs development opportunities, but first of all, it must increase opportunities in Hong Kong. The opportunities that arise cannot replace the development that Hong Kong needs. Integration must be the integration under the premise of sustainable development in Hong Kong.

It is worth noting that the "Qianhai Plan" mentioned that the Qianhai Cooperation Zone "is an important measure to support Hong Kong’s economic and social development, enhance the level of cooperation between Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, and build a new pattern of opening up. It is of great significance for Shenzhen to build a pilot demonstration zone for socialism with Chinese characteristics and to strengthen the centripetal force of Hong Kong compatriots to the motherland.” This shows that the central government hopes that through the Qianhai plan, Hong Kong and the Mainland can develop closer together, so that Hong Kong people can live and work in the Mainland more conveniently.

Especially on the issue of encouraging youth development, the "Qianhai Plan" will be a new opportunity. The future development blueprint for Qianhai will focus on building nests and attracting phoenixes for young people from Hong Kong and Macao. In the process of building a Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong modern service industry cooperation zone, With the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Youth DreamWorks and Qingchuang Ecological Valley as carriers, the "Qianhai Hong Kong and Macao Youth Recruitment Program" is implemented to provide platforms and positions for Hong Kong and Macao youths internship, employment, innovation and entrepreneurship, as well as supporting funds and housing security.

Lam Cheng predicts that the New Territories North Infrastructure will cooperate with the Qianhai port model or consider the "cooperative inspection" Qianhai development is a challenge for Hong Kong. The Qianhai plan is first of all. Persons from Hong Kong and Macau in the service industry can take up positions in statutory bodies
